These papers seek to show how environmental economics can be brought in to assist with the design and management of protected areas.
The relationship between protected natural areas and local human populations is extemely complex. This challenging book with diverse contributions from experts covering 13 countries, places the issues in context. Originally published in Spanish, it clearly demonstrates that people are part of most national parks, and policies which ignore their presence are doomed to failure.
This book is intended as a guide for the increasing number of people who find themselves with mandates to plan either national systems of marine and coastal protected areas or individual sites.
